Default 1/8th Buggy tyres on astro

Does anyone know of a 1/8th buggy tyre which has good forward traction and minimal side bite, and which works well on dry astroturf?

I'm having a lot of grip roll problems with my HPI Vorza. Sometimes I use Schumacher slicks which give very good mid-corner stability, but at the expense of acceleration/forward bite.

Recently I got hold of some premounted Losi Taper Pins which were very good but hadn't been glued very well and have come unglued almost every time i've used them. Someone else at my local track had the same problem and unfortunately you can only buy them premounted.

I also got some Panther Switch 2s which are almost identical to the Losi tyres, I glued them myself and they worked brilliantly, but Horizon Hobby are no longer importing them.

It also occurs to me there may be another way of getting rid of some of the grip by setting up the car differently, but i'm not the world's best at setup and could do with some advice about this also.

Thanks for reading this, any help would be appreciated!
